Three children brought Onto earth Three children did He rear Three children made From His own genes From stardust we appeared. From the foundation Of our lives He sent us to school Possessed of his intelligence And HE was NOT a fool Great aptitude for reading This is how he taught The books my father gave me Produced much Higher thought We went to places far & wide Hawaii was like heaven! We went to Montreal For Expo '67 Various religions We were to understand We went to see the kivas In the native lands We went to search For arrowheads We looked for various traces Of native habitation Appreciating other races He tried to teach me math Using the flashcards But I was into writing So he let me be a bard He loved the arts & sciences He loved agriculture He grew up deprived of it So he taught us culture We took the piano He helped me make a start Writing my own music He encouraged my art! I'll read him this poem We will then discuss How he has the   GREATEST legacy *For my dad has US!*

My Father's Legacy
Three children brought Onto earth Three children did He rear Three children made From His own genes From stardust we appeared. From the foundation Of our lives He sent us to school Possessed of his intelligence And HE was NOT a fool Great aptitude for reading This is how he taught The books my father gave me Produced much Higher thought We went to places far & wide Hawaii was like heaven! We went to Montreal For Expo '67 Various religions We were to understand We went to see the kivas In the native lands We went to search For arrowheads We looked for various traces Of native habitation Appreciating other races He tried to teach me math Using the flashcards But I was into writing So he let me be a bard He loved the arts & sciences He loved agriculture He grew up deprived of it So he taught us culture We took the piano He helped me make a start Writing my own music He encouraged my art!

Happy Father's Day! And to all the single moms out there... you're a FATHER TOO!
